    From the page: "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes - the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. - Jack Kerouac quoted in an Apple Computer Ad, 1997" Very inspirational.

    This is NOT a Jack Kerouac quote. I'd take good odds that the self-satisfied commenter below me never bothered to read him. This is a bastardization of a quote from On the Road: "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" You sit smugly and say Kerouac isn't a revolutionary the way someone might sit smugly and say that the Internet, or the internal combustion engine, was an obvious idea. So you say, with the benefit of history and hindsight. Kerouac was a visionary.

    Man, Kerouac is so absurdly overrated. That poem plays to nothing better than the self-satisfied high-school dropout in each of us.

    because apple is so revolutionary. (Yes, everyone is upset that apple used the quote.)

    apple co-opts so many revolutionary, brilliant, non-conformists who've never used computers so that they can sell more computers
